– REPAIRS & ALTERATIONS –

Whilst Amanda Li Hope makes every endeavour to secure, protect and insure items left by customers, they are left at customers’ own risk.
Repairs to jewellery , other than originally made by Amanda Li Hope, are not guaranteed. Although every care is made to make an effective repair, the original work or design may be fragile or defective.

When leaving jewellery or precious stones with Amanda Li Hope for repair or alteration, you can be assured of the utmost care and attention in relation to the item at all times. Goods are only handled by and repaired by fully qualified personnel. However, customers should be aware that no repair is fully without risk.

Precious stones are particularly vulnerable in the case of some repairs, especially resetting or re-clawing and, in the cases of some softer stones, even cleaning can damage them.
Customers must accept that jewellery can be damaged during the repair process. In the event of damage or total stone loss, Amanda Li Hope cannot be held liable for the replacement of such.

In the unlikely event that stones are chipped or grazed during a repair process, Amanda Li Hope would endeavour to re-polish the stone, but customers should be aware that during the re-cutting or polishing process, the stone may become smaller than the original size.

If you require more information regarding the risks to precious jewellery items, please contact Amanda directly, and Amanda can arrange to fully examine the piece prior to starting it and inform the customer of the likelihood of the above risks being applicable . Amanda has obtained insurance cover in respect of theft and property loss up to a maximum of £15,000.
